Can you take aleve every day for back pain?

My back pain has been bothering me for months, especially after long hours at work. My doctor suggested Aleve for occasional pain, but sometimes I need it daily. Can you take Aleve every day for chronic back pain?

I totally get it, back pain can be absolutely exhausting to live with. But taking Aleve every single day can really harm your stomach lining and kidneys over time. Please try to get it checked by a physiotherapist.

Unless you want your doctor to become your best friend, don't take Aleve daily! It's great for occasional relief, but daily use is a bit too much. Maybe try a hot water bag instead?

I am also dealing with mild back pain and was thinking about taking Aleve. Is it okay to take it just once a week, or does that also have side effects? Hope your pain gets better soon.

Taking daily painkillers is not a safe option. With my thyroid, I often get muscle aches and back pain, but my doctor advised doing regular tests and physiotherapy instead of relying on daily pills.

Actually, taking it daily is quite risky, yaar. Painkillers like Aleve are very strong and can cause acidity issues if used constantly. You should probably check with a doctor for a long-term solution.
